🌟 How to Make Star Sugar Cookies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Oh say can you see…these super cute sugar cookies?! They’re crunchy on the outside, soft and tender on the inside, and best of all, have an eye-catching design of bright stripes and embedded stars. Obviously they’re appropriate for the Fourth of July<\/a>, but you can switch up the stripe colors and the inside shape and make them for any occasion. Think pink and red stripes with a hidden heart for Valentine’s Day<\/a>, or pastel stripes with a flower inside for Easter<\/a>–the possibilities are endless!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These cookies were inspired by our super-popular Christmas Pinwheel Cookies<\/a>, and originally they were just going to be red, white, and blue pinwheels. (And if you want to try that design, check out the Variations section<\/a> below for instructions!) But instead, we took the same basic sugar dough and used it to create the stars and stripes design instead, perfect for patriotic potlucks and BBQs.<\/p>\n\n\n
